I just saw IT Follows and I was rather disappointed!! Kinda expected a whole lot more,too many plot holes and questions left unanswered.
And the painful thing is I think someone highly recommended it on here.

About to start Hereditary now, hope its not like the former

KoiceReloaded:
Nope to both. Will watch Papillon one of these days. However, I'm never gonna watch Crazy Rich Asians. I feel like the title alone has told me everything I need to know about the film. They are rich, they're crazy, they're asians. So what else is new?

alexistaiwo:
Is Beorn also a resident there?

olu4life:
Hollup, The Witch (2015)? If you referring to that, that's one super boring movie. Struggled to finish the movie. Showing forest up and down. Abegiii

KoiceReloaded:
If you're of the opinion that it's boring, then you would probably think all period dramas are boring too.

KoiceReloaded:
Pertaining to Hereditary, there has been more "Ayes" than "Nays" in this forum alone. The only other person that found the film boring apart from you and him, is olu4life. Others have nothing but rave reviews.

MJBOLT:

KoiceReloaded:
It was a deliberate and clumsy attempt at a provocation, and he knows it. Anybody that have REALLY watched Hereditary will tell you it's anything but boring. You might as well call The Witch boring, cuz both have similar premise.

KoiceReloaded:
Okay, you've been noticed, Run along.

oyetpel:
Funny, Silence put you to sleep? A movie that was so intense and i gazed throughout .

By the way, hereditary is putting me to sleep here, so boring, still yet to finish it sincere yesterday.

KoiceReloaded:
I've watched it, I think. It's about a Catholic priest that went to Japan, renounced his priesthood, accepted the Japanese culture, and married a Japanese wife... or something like that. Some priest were sent to find him, and they eventually did... my memory is vague on the rest. Didn't like the film.

noob03saibot.

SAMBHOSS:
bro, that's why I said my view.........it's good....I know you will give it a 6 at least....

KoiceReloaded:
Pornographic?? Never heard of the adjective before. As a born again christian, my brain can only process good words, and act accordingly.

Seriously though, curiosity killed the cat. The film was just a double click away, and I just couldn't resist.

KoiceReloaded:
MAJOR SPOILERS

I don't know what demon possessed me to watch A Serbian Film, esp after having read the synopsis. What an eye bleach. I wish there is a way I can unsee what I just saw. WTF?!!

Here's some of the f**ked up bits:
- A man kills another man by impaling his head on his e.rect dick.
- A man delivers a baby from a sex slave, then proceeds to immediately r.ape the baby, killing it in the process.
- A man beheads a woman with a machete while raping her, but he didn't stop there, he then continues to rape her headless corpse.
- A man is forced to ra.pe two individuals who’s upper bodies were concealed by sheets, it’s then revealed that they were his children.

READ THIS SPOILERS SO THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO WATCH THIS SICK SH*T. IT'S IN YOUR BEST INTEREST, TRUST ME.

SAMBHOSS:
The Hate U Give

10/10.....I can't begin to write long epistle on this one...it was just brilliant....maybe because it's about racism/racial divide and I'm black...can't say a white person would also enjoy it the way I did...

All in All...it was really good for me...

etiosa24:
Narcos: Mexico will premiere on November 16 on Netflix.
Can't wait

Kaycee7:
The Grudge 2 was one of those horror movies I mistakenly watched. Let's just say it was a long time before I was able to look at a mirror or sink comfortably.

MJBOLT:

i watch a lot of horror movies so it's difficult for me to get scared,the last time i got scared after watching a horror movie was in 2012

MJBOLT:

good,the movie will probably give you a heart attack

Kaycee7:
You think those 2 are sissies? I don't even dare watch the trailers to horror movies.

KoiceReloaded:
Apostle doesn't have jump-scares.

Ishilove:
Beorn, if you're trying to influence me to watch the Nun then I must inform you that your plan o wa failure. Kole werk!

MJBOLT:

beorn,have you seen any of the grudge movies?

KoiceReloaded:
Okay let's compare and contrast.

- My rating of Hereditary: 8/10
- RT ratings: 89%
- IMDb: 73/10
- Your rating: 4/10

- My rating of The Nun: 4/10
- RT ratings: 26%
- IMDb: 5.6/10
- Your ratings: 8/10

Bottom line, my ratings paralleled that of the general consensus, whilst yours is on an expired crack

MJBOLT:

hereditary is better than the nun

olu4life:
Aswear you just spoke my mind on the movie. Its a very slowwwwww movie. Still wondering how it scared people. The only tragedy seen was when the girl's head cut off. Then perhaps when the dark entity was after the boy.
Koice abeg Hereditary no be am Was just an overhyped movie.

KoiceReloaded:
The Sixth Sense is not even a good example of a proper psychological horror. The sequel Split did a far more better job. Also, Others was phenomenal in making a strong case against jump-scare tactics in the supernatural subgenre.

- It follows,
- The Others,
- The Witch,
- A Dark Song,
- The Void,
- The Autopsy of Jane Doe,
- The Orphanage

These are some of supernatural horrors that don't rely on jump-scares. In It Follows, an entity stalks the protagonist and his friends, but in a quiet creepy way. For instance, it builds up so much dread that when a door opens, you'd fully expect the entity to be one behind the door, only for it to be some ordinary bloke. The film is a tutorial on how to use creativity and psychological mindgames to keep us at the edge of our seats, instead of using some cheap scaring tactics.

Jump-scare cheapens supernatural horror, and makes it less interesting, boring, and forgettable.



Jump-scare is one of the most basic building blocks of horror. It's a vault, a panic room. It's safe. It's a tactic to fall back on when a filmmaker doesn't wanna take risk, probably because they don't have the intellectual capability to create something meaningful out of something less meaningful.

Wow! If a powerful and meaningful movie like Hereditary could bore you, little wonder you're so taken with it's polar opposite, The Nun. It all make sense now. You're a bonafide jump-scare lover.
